[05:37] <tertl6> hello
[05:38] <tertl6> how can I enable accelerated video on my vmware host
[05:41] <Unit193> Type this into a terminal:  glxinfo | grep rendering   and see if it says "direct rendering: Yes"
[05:43] <tertl6> k
[05:43] <tertl6> one sec
[05:46] <tertl6> ah ok
[05:46] <tertl6> it says yes
[05:46] <tertl6> what does grep do?
[05:46] <tertl6> it searches for that word
[05:46] <tertl6> ?
[05:48] <Unit193> Basically, gets that line
[05:48] <Unit193> Now you'll just need to enable it on VMWare
[05:49] <Unit193> May also want to try  glxgears
[05:49] <tertl6> Unit193 ok
[05:50] <tertl6> one sec again, i closed it
[05:50] <tertl6> i just installed cinnamon
[05:51] <Unit193> Can't help you there, not used it (and that'd not be Lubuntu anyway :P )
[05:52] <tertl6> well, I am useing lxde still
[05:52] <tertl6> i just saw some peeps talking about it
[05:52] <tertl6> it works fine
[05:54] <tertl6> glXGEARS wokrs
[05:55] <Unit193> Righto, your hardware is good to go
[05:56] <tertl6> great
[05:58] <Unit193> Now is where I say "There should be a setting in VMWare to enable it somewhere" :P  I can try to find it, but as I've never used it...
[05:59] <tertl6> there is
[05:59] <tertl6> its under Display
[06:37] <tertl6> ok
[06:37] <tertl6> any idea how to let me open files to and fro VMware
[06:38] <holstein> tertl6: o/
[06:39] <holstein> you want a shared folder or whatever?
[06:39] <Unit193> Well, as I said I haven't used it, but I know VBox has a Shared folders option, might be something like that
[06:39] <Unit193> But #vmware may be of more help than I :P  (Unless holstein knows)
[06:39] <holstein> yeah, that "just works" in theory
[06:39] <holstein> the setup is more on the guest end
[06:41] <tertl6> oh I thought it would open the entire drive
[06:42] <holstein> nah, they are pretty isolated unless you want them not to be
[06:57] <crshbndct> hey guys
[06:58] <crshbndct> does lubuntu 11.10 have apt disable or something?
[06:59] <Unit193> Apt disable?
[06:59] <crshbndct> if i try to update, do apt-get, or remove anything, the system just sits there doing nothing
[06:59] <crshbndct> disabled*
[06:59] <Unit193> sudo apt-get update   gives you nothing?
[06:59] <crshbndct> no
[07:00] <crshbndct> it just moves down to the next line like it as about to do something, and then sits there
[07:00] <crshbndct> ctrl+c doesnt even kill it
[07:00] <Unit193> How long do you wait?
[07:00] <crshbndct> it isnt unresponsive or anything, i can still do other stuff
[07:00] <crshbndct> about 5 minutes
[07:01] <crshbndct> i am looking for a nice light distro to put on my old but still very functional laptop, but if it doesnt have apt it is a bit of deal breaker for me
[07:02] <Unit193> I use it almost daily
[07:02] <crshbndct> i know
[07:03] <crshbndct> i tried the 3 different terminal emulators it came with
[07:03] <crshbndct> no result
[07:03] <Unit193> You can't know that, I just told you :P  Right, can you use "sudo $something?"
[07:03] <Unit193> (Something being pick lspci ro something)
[07:04] <crshbndct> when i said i know i meant, yes that is self evident :P
[07:05] <crshbndct> no i cant do that wither
[07:05] <crshbndct> either
[07:05] <crshbndct> seems the issue is with sudo, actually
[07:05] <crshbndct> nice catch
[07:05] <Unit193> Yep
[07:05] <Unit193> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo
[07:06] <Unit193> "Or you may just see the next command prompt without any action being executed. "
[07:07] <crshbndct> strange that it is broken on a fresh install. but meh
[07:11] <crshbndct> nope.
[07:14] <crshbndct> no it is telling me that it is a read only file system. so step 2 of those instructions fails
[07:15] <Unit193> There should be a "remount read/write" or something
[07:16] <crshbndct> where?
[07:16] <crshbndct> in the root terminal?
[07:17] <Unit193> Recovery mode
[07:20] <crshbndct> ok i worked it out..
[07:20] <crshbndct> bit of a bug there. but hopefully it is okay from here.
[07:21] <crshbndct> seems all the major distro's have a major dealbreaker bug on first boot after reinstall.
[07:21] <Unit193> Heh, I only hit on upgrade :P
[07:22] <crshbndct> well i have been tryng a few different distros
[07:22] <crshbndct> ubuntu doesnt have a working browser
[07:23] <crshbndct> arch doesnt have a working package manager
[07:23] <crshbndct> fedora.... well i wont go into that
[07:23] <crshbndct> so something as small as having to run visudo and fix broken entries is minor really
[07:24] <Unit193> So, you like this or going on to the next one? (AntiX or Puppy on that list?)
[07:25] <crshbndct> already tried puppy.. no wifi with that.
[07:25] <crshbndct> no wifi with this one either, but i havent really tried much
[07:25] <crshbndct> (and i didnt have any sudo access :P)
[07:26] <Unit193> !wifi |I can toss you this :P
[07:26] <crshbndct> lol i wasnt gonna ask that.. but thanks i would have eventually ended up there.
[07:31] <crshbndct> hmmm it looks like a disaster. is this machine possible just too slow for lubuntu?
[07:31] <crshbndct> pentium m 720(2ghz), 1.25 gb ram, 40gb hdd
[07:35] <Unit193> Better than what I have
[07:40] <crshbndct> i dont know what witchcraft you must be doing then :) the system is totally overcome by running update manager.
[07:41] <bioterror> it's the hard drive
[07:41] <crshbndct> too slow?
[07:41] <bioterror> probably so
[07:41] <bioterror> 5400RPM with almost non cache is slow
[07:42] <crshbndct> thats odd. given that i can run kubuntu on this machine alright. i thought lxde was supposed to be lighter than KDE?
[07:44] <kanliot> hey crsh i know you from LAS channel sup!
[07:44] <crshbndct> SUP!!
[07:44] <crshbndct> task manager shows 100% cpu usage load average 1.95
[07:45] <crshbndct> yet top is not showing any kind of process which could be hogging cpu
[07:45] <bioterror> if cpu usage is 100%, then it should show you processes that takes CPU
[07:45] <bioterror> right?
[07:45] <crshbndct> yeah
[07:47] <crshbndct> okay rebooting now
[07:48] <crshbndct> i will keep digging away at it, thanks for your help anyway
[08:00] <crshbndct> no it seeme to be horribly broken
[08:00] <crshbndct> cross that one off the list then
[08:07] <kanliot> probably drivers
[08:58] <iceroot> hi
[08:58] <iceroot> what is the name of the program coming up on "alt+f2"?
[09:06] <iceroot> the latest dist-upgrade (12.04) is tryxing to pull "libbluray" because it depends on gnome-mplayer which is coming from lubuntu-desktop. is that legal that lubuntu-desktop comes per default with libbluray?
[09:07] <Sillion> Hi
[09:07] <iceroot> if i am correct it was not allowed to ship "libdvdcss" so i guess the same goes for "libbluray"
[09:07] <Unit193> iceroot: That's part of lxpanel
[09:08] <Sillion> I'd like to change the colour of the status window (the one which pop up when there is something going on)
[09:08] <iceroot> Unit193: thank you, then i will create a bug against lxpanel
[09:08] <Unit193> No, not that part....
[09:08] <Unit193> lxpanelctl run is alt+f2
[09:09] <iceroot> Unit193: thank you
[09:10] <iceroot> Unit193: but lxpanelctl is coming from lxpanel, so it should be correct to open a bug against the package lxpanel
[09:10] <Unit193> What's wrong with it?
[09:10] <iceroot> Unit193: no focus after alt+f2 for the run-window
[09:11] <iceroot> no focus = run-dialig behind all other windows
[09:12] <Unit193> Try searching a little bit at least before reporting bugs >_<
[09:13] <iceroot> Unit193: would be great if launchpad would to that when creating bugs
[09:13] <iceroot> like the bugzilla from mozilla.org
[09:13] <Unit193> Bug #890395 it does
[09:14] <iceroot> Unit193: thank you
[09:15] <Unit193> And for blueray, are you sure it's not libbluray1?
[09:15] <Unit193> Did you even look at what the package does?
[09:15] <Unit193> "Most commercial Blu-Ray are restricted by AACS or BD+ technologies and this library is not enough to playback those discs."
[09:17] <iceroot> Legal: libbluray is DRM-circumvention free, and thus, safe to integrate in your software.
[09:17] <iceroot> ok, then i was wrong
[09:19] <iceroot> Unit193: thank you for the info on lxpanel and libbluray12
[09:19] <iceroot> -2
[09:19] <Unit193> Yea
[10:16] <awsome> i'm on lubuntu :D
[15:15] <morri> hi guys
[15:16] <morri> is there any thing world changing new in firefox 9.0.1?
[15:16] <holstein> i usually add the stable PPA https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable
[15:17] <morri> and when I use the shut down button sometimes the dialogue only contains a few options such reboot or hibernate etc but not shut down. mostly if I cancel and do it again it shows all the options. anyone got an idea why that may be?
[15:18] <holstein> something with power management and your specific hardware maybe?... i would try applying all upgrades and see if that helps.. if you are up to date, you can try an earlier kernel version and see if the performance is different
[15:19] <morri> well since it is a normal pc(not laptop) it is on normal pc power management
[15:19] <morri> it doesnt do it alway though just occasionally
[15:20] <holstein> right.. still the kernel is a good place to start...
[15:21] <morri> I'll have a look into previous version ,
[15:22] <holstein> you can set a shortcut or script to use sudo shutdown -h now
[15:23] <holstein> you can search around for a bug relating to your hardware... in my experience, the shutdown button triggers nothing from LXDE or lubuntu, and i assume its misconfiguration on my part, or something i have not yet aquired the skill to setup
[15:23] <morri> yea- I use the terminal sometimes anyway- buit as I say it is seemingly random whether it does it or not and it shopws everything at second try anyway
[16:21] <txomon|home> any lightweight ppt viewer? Or do I have to install libreoffice?
[16:24] <epictetus> txomon|home: web based ones
[16:25] <epictetus> i.e. google apps
[16:25] <epictetus> or various "web meeting" sites that let you upload and view powerpoint
[16:28] <txomon|home> puff so no
[16:28] <txomon|home> _I meant apps
[17:26] <thor_> Hi i am testing lxfind in lubuntu 12.04. And find do not works in it, get error that it can not get access. Only locate works
[17:28] <thor_> using lxfind_0.0.1-0~17
[18:41] <Wulong> Does someone have a script for wifi-connection verification & connect I can run with cron each 5min?
[18:41] <holstein> ping work for you Wulong ?
[18:44] <Wulong> if iwconfig wlan0 | grep -o "Access Point: Not-Associated"; then do-some-rutine;fi works
[18:45] <Wulong> But I need the routine.
[18:46] <Wulong> I need to send some call to NM to reconnect
[18:46] <Wulong> NetworkManager is pretty dumb when it comes to reconnection.
[18:48] <Wulong> sudo service network-manager restart seems to do it.
[19:09] <venik212> How do I get ICONS ONLY for the task bar?
[19:09] <wxl> venik212: that's in the guides
[19:10] <wxl> one sec
[19:10] <venik212> I right click on the task bar
[19:10] <smile4ever> venik212: http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXPanel#Icons_only

[19:10] <smile4ever> :)
[19:34] <smile4ever> bye :)
[20:59] <Ahmuck> i know that ubuntu is using thunderbird for e-mail, what are they using for calerding now?
[21:01] <Unit193> You may want to ask a channel that has a better chance of knowing.... Thunderbird has a calendar extension that is rather good though
[21:07] <Ahmuck> it's getting tiring switching from one to the next to the next.  what is lubuntu using for calandering?
[21:07] <wxl> Ahmuck: man cal
[21:08] <wxl> j/k ;)
[21:08] <wxl> seriously, though, there's no out-of-the-box support for calendars like you mean it
